Chapter 1: Xuantian Sword Gate

Bidding farewell to Su Su and the three of them, Zhao Jiuge walked towards the capital in front of him with reluctance.

After a while, the city wall made of tall gray boulders in the distance was faintly visible, Zhao Jiuge raised his head and found that the city wall was at least dozens of meters high, this was still the largest city he had seen in his life, even if Dongyang City was compared with the capital in front of him, it was only a small thing.

Finally, the gate of the capital city is clearly visible, the dark gate, between the two gates, there is a bronze medal buckle carved with the head of the tiger, people can be seen in and out from afar, but there is no one to handle.

Although the Chinese Dynasty was full of cities, there were no rulers, and only the seven most vigorous sects could speak, and it was also the holy land that those small sects said.

Entering the capital, Zhao Jiuge's eyes were full of curiosity, wanting to see how the legendary largest capital city was different, the noisy atmosphere came to his face, and the crowd walked around in the crowded manner paved with gray bricks, and Zhao Jiuge's eyes stretched out slightly.

I can't help but sigh a little, it's really bustling in the world, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. Even if they are mortals and ordinary people, rich businessmen or those high-ranking officials and aristocrats, they are running for wealth, money, and power every day.

What's more, those immortal cultivators are unscrupulous for the sake of the end, isn't it also for the sake of profit, after a Qing Dao long thing, Zhao Jiuge felt that the human heart is sinister, and on the road of cultivation, it is not only necessary to prevent dangerous spirit beasts, but also the human heart.

Looking at the flow of people surging on the streets, Zhao Jiuge, who grew up in the countryside, pursed his lips tightly, and was a little excited in his heart, diluting the sorrow brought by the parting just now, when had he seen so many people.

Feeling the vigorous flow of people, Zhao Jiuge was in a trance for a while, immersed in the bustling city.

During the flight, Yang Lao informed the location of the distribution of the capital, Zhao Jiuge's memory, the northwest is the aristocratic area, and the northeast is a downtown area, not only has the largest auction hall, where there are high-level mystical exercises, but also powerful magic weapons, and even rare magic can be had, as long as you have spirit stones, there is nothing you can't buy, and even some double cultivators can buy it as long as you have advanced cultivation!

And the southwest is the place where the Seven Great Sects accept apprentices every year, although Zhao Jiuge is hot in his heart and wants to go to the top auction house to see it, but compared with the Apprenticeship Sect, the rest of the things are not a matter, his eyes are hot, and his steps are constantly walking towards the southwest of the capital.

On the way, Zhao Jiuge found out why there were so many people in the capital, and they were so crowded that they couldn't walk, because on the day when the Seven Great Sects accepted apprentices once every ten years, on the way, Zhao Jiuge also heard about some sects, which Seven Great Sects are today.

Wandao Sect. Pay attention to the nature of Taoism, practice without doing anything, the Taoist temples all over the world listen to its decrees, there are many disciples of the sect, and with the accumulation of time, the overall strength of the sect is increasing day by day, and there is a great influence in the Chinese Dynasty, and there are many sects and spells.

Valley of Flowers. I heard that the sect only recruits female disciples, all of whom are as beautiful as immortals, and many disciples of the Chinese Dynasty are proud of the disciples of Baihuagu to become Taoist couples, because female disciples and disciples of all sects are Taoist couples, plus the strength of the overall sect, although they are all women, they are not easy to mess with.

Yuehua Academy. Since a thousand years ago, the patriarch of the sect had an epiphany, because of Confucianism into the Tao, the rise of the xia, since then the entire sect has risen by leaps and bounds, and it has also brought the disciples to the top of their hearts.

Nameless Temple. Low-key escapism, rarely appear in the eyes of the world, do not seek fame and fortune and the world without fighting, guard their own acres and three points of land, never wantonly accept disciples, major in the practice of great compassion mantras, although has always been low-key, but for the entire Chinese Dynasty of Buddhism strength has a great appeal, the entire sect is extraordinary.

Suspended view. According to legend, it is only passed down from generation to generation, and the most mysterious sect, even where the master is, most of them still don't know, and the disciples under the sect are either not born, or they will set off a bloody storm as soon as they are born.

Taiman Mountain. A sect that only pays attention to cultivation, the sect is next to the Nanban Forest, according to legend, the name of the sect was built because of the Nanban Forest, and its disciples are all barbarians in the Nanban Forest, and the barbarians are born with strong bodies, and later because the elders of the sect found some medicinal materials in the Nanban Forest, it led to soaring into the sky and ranking among the Seven Holy Lands.

The Nanban Forest is the dangerous place of the Chinese Dynasty, but there are also all kinds of natural treasures, the risk and the opportunity are proportional, although the environment is harsh, there are many spirit beasts, but still for the sake of cultivation for the strength of the monk like a moth to the fire into the Nanban Forest, even if the cultivation of the advanced monk is not good, it will fall in it, so the prestige of the Nanban Forest is remembered in the heart of every cultivator.

Xuantian Sword Gate. A sect that regards the sword as its own destiny, majoring in flying swords, whether it is exercises or law decisions are related to the sword, the sect was once prosperous, at its peak, it is said that there are three sword immortals, many monks in the Mahayana realm, and then because of the lack of green and yellow, gradually declined, and now the seven holy places are at the end, and they are about to fall to the second-rate sect.

Along the way, while constantly hurrying, Zhao Jiuge was still secretly thinking about which sect he would go to, Baihua Valley only accepted female disciples, and the Hanging View was not born at all, as for the nameless temple, there are generally few apprentices, and now there are only four remaining sects in the capital, where should I go.

In this way, with thoughts and entanglements along the way, he unconsciously left the downtown area, and the crowd on the street gradually decreased, and finally Zhao Jiuge finally made up his mind to choose the Xuantian Sword Gate, because he liked the sword more, maybe more important things, the shadow in his heart was deeply moved by the graceful posture of the sword on the night of the cold water pool, and the domineering spirit of the sword slashing the cold Jiao also shocked him, and left a deep impression when he had not yet come into contact with this fantasy world.

There was less crowd here, but Zhao Jiuge thought to himself, it should be all people who went to apprentice, Zhao Jiuge thought to himself, and he didn't know the conditions for entering the sect, in case he didn't choose, how would it be good.

It's just that Zhao Jiuge doesn't know that the sects that recruit disciples from these are divided into outer doors and inner doors, generally as long as they are not too poorly qualified, they will be included in the door, and they have not been assessed every year, but they can't enter the inner door to learn the exercises, so they can only stay in the outer door to do some miscellaneous errands and learn some simple basic exercises.

Suddenly, the vision ahead was wide, the crowd staggered, and it became lively, and I saw a square in front of me, paved with large blue stone bricks, and a tall building stood in front of the square.

The building has seven floors, the roof is the helmet top type that is stacked with the Ruyi bucket arch to support it, for and warped, the edge of the building presents a polygonal shape, the fence is carved into a hollow relief shape with dark brown wood, from bottom to top, each layer is changed from large to small, somewhat similar to the pagoda, the base of the building supports four large Nanmu columns, and there are four large stone piers.

The windows of each floor of the pavilion are carved and pasted gold doors and windows, not only the vision is more broad, but also seems to be more ethereal, without losing the elegance, Zhao Jiuge looks here, the whole building is towering, magnificent, splendid, so far away it looks like a Kunpeng who wants to leap in the air.

On the plaque on the top of the building, there are four big characters written on the quaint Xuantian Sword Gate.

Zhao Jiuge was taken aback for a moment, looking at this building with a stunned look in his eyes, thinking that the Xuantian Sword Sect, one of the Seven Holy Lands, would not be like this even if it fell to the end!

At the door of the lowest floor of the building, there was a crowd of people at this time, and they were constantly making loud noises, Zhao Jiuge walked in and saw that it was a young man in a navy blue robe, his face was flushed, blocking the door, and two Xuantian Sword Gates wearing blue sword robes and carrying long swords behind him had an argument.

I saw that the young man was excited, and his voice changed a little, shouting, "Why don't you let me enter the building for an interview, even if you Xuantian Sword Gate looks down on me, you won't let me not give me the opportunity to interview, isn't your Xuantian Sword Gate special." Saliva splashed, and his chest rose and fell violently.

One of the two elderly disciples at the door couldn't help but look a little embarrassed as he looked at the crowd of people who came over to watch the excitement from all sides, but he still patiently explained, "It's not because my Xuantian Sword Sect is superior, but because you are over eighteen years old, and our Xuantian Sword Sect has always only recruited disciples under the age of eighteen, and cultivated below the foundation realm." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, a sensation suddenly erupted in the crowd of onlookers.

Immediately, a disdainful voice sounded, "This Xuantian Sword Sect is so good, and it has so many requirements." ”

"Yes, let's go, go to the Wandao Sect and Yuehua Academy. ”

"That is, it's not just their Xuantian Sword Sect that accepts apprentices. ”

Subsequently, in the crowd, a small part of the crowd walked away because of his age, and the disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect in blue sword robes looked a little angry and helpless when they saw this.

The angry thing is that the requirements for accepting apprentices have been set since the patriarch of the sect was opened, and they have never changed, but the helpless thing is to put the status of the Xuantian Sword Sect in the past, who would take them seriously like this, it is said that the disciples of the sect used to walk with their heads raised when they went out, and they were all proud of being a member of the Xuantian Sword Sect, but the good times were not as good as a year.

The young man in navy blue had not left because he was unwilling, and he kept roaring and roaring, claiming that he had been preparing for so many years, and he had spent all his wealth practicing swordsmanship, just to worship in the Xuantian Sword Gate, if it weren't for the Xuantian Sword Gate's specialization in sword cultivation, he would not be so excited.

Zhao Jiuge, who was watching the whole thing, let out a long breath of turbidity, glad that he met the requirements of the interview, Zhao Jiuge believed that as long as he could interview, with his own confidence and ability, it should not be much of a problem to get started.

But how did Zhao Jiuge know that under the age of eighteen, it is because the heart has not yet been finalized, and from this time on, the disciple's sense of belonging and loyalty to the sect will be greatly increased, as for those below the foundation realm, it is not because the higher the cultivation, the better your qualifications, the sect will want you.

Because of the sect's exercises, there is no cultivation to build a foundation in order to have plasticity, if the foundation array has been condensed, then the path of cultivation has been faintly formed and cannot be changed, which is a big conflict with the sword path of the Xuantian Sword Sect.
